Abstract
Concerns have increasingly been raised about the difficulties experienced by young people making the transition from public care to independence in different societies. This paper explores the theoretical and conceptual issues that need to be considered when undertaking comparative research in this area. Following this, the similarities and differences in legal and policy frameworks that may support or inhibit transitions from adolescence to adulthood are examined. Research findings on outcomes for young people leaving public care are also discussed. Despite differences in social, cultural, economic and political contexts, there are clear indications of similarities in the types of need experienced by care leavers in Western societies. Adverse outcomes for this vulnerable group are of concern because they are indicative of both personal disadvantage to the young people concerned, and also of the possibility of social exclusion and dependency on public services continuing into adulthood. The paper concludes with suggestions for future research to address current knowledge gaps.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
